Chapter 64: Hooked

On deck, the children of the family were still drunk at their parties, and in every corner of the ship, the crew went about their work in an orderly manner.

No one notices that a phantom is moving around the ship......

Chang An walked between the cabins in the Wind Cloak, and as long as he didn't want people to find out, no one would notice him. But he kept an eye on the people around him, trying to find suspicious characters in them.

The crew working on the ship are basically sturdy men, there are too many people who meet this clue, and there are not a few people with blue eyes, and it is impossible for Chang An to investigate them one by one. After turning around, Chang An didn't find anyone acting suspiciously, and he realized that he had to find a different way.

In the evening, a crew member came alone to the cabin where the grain was stored, and he did as the chef had instructed him to pick up the ingredients for dinner. It's a very simple job, and he's used to going back and forth between the kitchen and the warehouse at this time of day, and the whole work process is so regular that no accidents can happen.

However, today is a little different, as soon as the crew member pushed open the door and walked into the warehouse, the wooden door behind him closed by itself! As soon as the crew member realized that something was wrong, a black shadow smashed on the back of his head, and the crew immediately fainted......

The crew member woke up ten minutes later, and he didn't remember how he had passed out, but he had fallen. In order not to delay his work, he quickly picked up a bag of grain and left the warehouse, and if he didn't go back quickly, the chef would lose his temper again.

"Huh, Hals!" the crew had just come out of the warehouse when they were stopped by a close colleague.

"Is there anything wrong, old White? I'm going to get the food to the chef soon." ”

The crew member who stopped Hals stared at Hals's back for a long time, and then said, "Well, it's nothing, the ornaments on your clothes are pretty beautiful." ”

"Ornaments?" the crew member named Hals turned his head to look behind his back, but saw nothing. With a job at hand, he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about it at the moment, so he left this little episode behind him and left.

Old White, who stayed where he was, scratched his head: "Strange, why did Hals put a black mask on the back of his clothes? Forget it, maybe it's the custom of their hometown." ”

Hals, who was running back in a hurry with a sack of grain, didn't notice that everyone he met along the way would keep their eyes behind him for two seconds. He didn't know that a black mask was glued to the back of his clothes, and as long as the magic mask that Song Shi gave to Chang An was not worn on his face, the hidden magic on it would not work, but would easily attract the attention of others because of its unique shape.

"Hals, what are you doing, why did you come back!"

As soon as the crew returned to the galley, they heard the chef's roar, and Hals was accustomed to the chef's temper. After putting down the food, he was ready to go out without saying a word, but at this time, there was a cold snort from the chef behind him.

"I didn't see you working so hard when I was working, but I was very attentive to dressing up, and next time I don't have to work here like this!

After being reprimanded inexplicably, Hals didn't mention how aggrieved he was, but he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly picked up the silver plate with fruit on one side and walked quickly to the deck. However, at the moment of going out, he vaguely heard a voice from behind him:

"Hey, isn't there any in the kitchen? It looks like the man is on deck......"

Hals climbed the stairs to the deck, and those who met him along the way would still keep their eyes behind him for a moment, but would not react otherwise. In their eyes, the black mask behind Hals was just a very special ornament.

However, when Hals came to the deck, this state changed in an instant!

"Huh, you have a nice shadow mask. Where did you pick it up?" as Hals placed the fruit bowl on the table, Catherine, who was sitting nearby, noticed the mask he was wearing. After all, as a magician, it is difficult for her not to pay attention to the flow of magic on the magic items.

Catherine's words immediately caused the boys on the deck to gather around, and for this group of extremely empty and lonely Second Ancestors, anything new could arouse their interest. Hals, as an ordinary crew member, was surrounded by a group of young ladies before he realized what was happening.

Dongfang Yi unceremoniously ripped off the mask on Hals's clothes, held it in his hand and observed it carefully: "Wow! It's really a shadow mask! This workmanship must be made by a magister." ”

"Tsk, it's a good thing, but this thing is usually used by assassins or something, and no one on this ship will carry this kind of thing, right?"

"Hey, who knows where he got shit luck. Someone must have picked it up in the harbor. ”

While everyone was excitedly discussing this shadow mask, on the periphery of the crowd, there was a pair of dark blue pupils looking at the black mask in Dongfang Yi's hand with shocked and frightened eyes.

He didn't know that when his gaze was locked on the shadow mask, there was also a pair of eyes locked on his dark blue pupils in the darkness.

"Hehe, I found ......"

Dongfang Yi played with it for a while and returned the Shadow Mask to Hals, they are the children of the family who are hot for everything, and although this Shadow Mask is a rare thing, it is nothing to them who are born in a big family. It is even more impossible to do something that usurps a commoner and takes it for himself, which is such a shame for the aristocracy.

Hals didn't understand what the men were discussing, and he didn't even know where the mask in his hand came from. After a long time, he cautiously asked, "Well, young masters, can the villain go?" ”

Catherine waved her hand slightly: "Well, it's none of your business, go down." ”

"Yes. Hals left in his shadow mask in his hand, confused, still unaware of what it was or where it came from.

But listening to what those boys mean, this thing seems to be quite valuable, hehe......

Unbeknownst to Hals, who was secretly happy in his heart, a sturdy man followed him silently as he left the deck.

The blue-eyed owner held his breath, his eyes fixed on the back of the crew member in front of him, and from this angle he could still see the crew holding up the shadow mask from time to time for a closer look.

His heart was beating "poof", according to the master's order, he confirmed the existence of "that person" in the cabin on the ground floor, and when he was still eager to pass on this information, he didn't expect that this mask that impressed him appeared in front of him again!

Could this crew member be "that man"? Or is there something else going on?

Whatever the possibility, he was ready to get his hands on the mask and study it again. As for the crew with the mask, it would be better to be on the safe side and let him disappear from this ship.

The light in the cabin was dim, but the dark blue pupils were always locked on Hals's back, and he needed a moment to make a move, to wait until there was no one else around......

As if the heavens heard his request, Hals took the initiative to cooperate, and actually walked in the direction of the cabin on the ground floor, and there were fewer and fewer idle people around.

It was a godsend!, and he excitedly followed. It wasn't until he actually walked down the stairs to the lower cabin with "Hals" that he realized something was wrong.

Wait, the bottom cabin? isn't this place......

"Well, it's been so hard for you to follow all the way here. The "Hals" in front turned around, and the owner of the dark blue pupils suddenly froze, and the voice ...... Don't......

In the next second, he felt a chill in his neck, and a fruit knife was already across his neck!

"Farewell. Chang An's eyes were cold, and he slashed out with a knife without any delay, and in an instant, a spring of blood gushed out from the side of the opponent's neck!

Chang An did not learn the routine in the TV series to cut the other party's throat, but directly cut off the opponent's cervical aorta, which is the real part that can be fatal with one knife! The man with dark blue eyes spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down holding his neck.

Chang An took off his crew uniform, and then put the shadow mask on his face. Hals had been dressed in the same clothes as he had come down the stairs from the deck, which was not a clever trick, but Chang'an's prey was easier to bait than he thought.

"It turned out to be you. Chang An squatted on the ground and straightened the man's face, this man is Owen in the poetry team, a child of the Wind Wolf Family, and a talented magician among the younger generation of the Beast Empire. It's just that I didn't expect him to be Zou Ao's spy placed next to Song Shi.

It's a pity that no matter what his identity is, now he's just a dead man.

Chang An looked at Owen's corpse and began to think about the aftermath. It's not a good thing to pay attention to throwing the body directly into the sea, but there are many witnesses on this ship who saw Owen running all the way here, and it is easy for someone to investigate the problem.

However, Chang An is also a person who has watched hundreds of episodes of Conan, and he can immediately think of more than a dozen ways to fake the appearance of Owen falling into the sea in full view. However, it will take some time to prepare.

Just as Chang An was thinking about the plan to forge the scene, a sense of danger suddenly came to his heart! Two pistols instantly appeared in his hands and aimed at Owen's "corpse" on the ground.

Chang An had confirmed before that Owen's breathing and heart had stopped, and he was 100% dead when he could fill a vat of blood.

However, under Chang An's nose, I saw that the fatal wound on Owen's neck that was cut by Chang An was healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye!

The palm, which had become pale due to blood loss, suddenly raised!

"Poof!" Chang An didn't think about it, and shot Owen in the head.
